India’s Ravichandran Ashwin continues to hold a healthy lead over Sri Lanka’s Rangana Herath at the top of the ICC Test rankings for bowlers. The Indian off-spinner has held the top position since the conclusion of the India-New Zealand Test series in October.
Despite missing two Tests in South Africa’s Test series in Australia, Dale Steyn is the highest-ranked fast bowler, coming in at third spot with 844 points to his name.
Steyn is closely followed by England’s James Anderson in fourth. The 34-year-old English pacer didn’t have the best of times in the third Test against India at Mohali, ending the match wicketless.
